--I thought that ateliers were about taking things at your own pace, and having an individual plan of study.

--Like what Noah Bradley mentioned, he did 1 hour of 2 hour, at home, while following RSAA or so if I recall correctly.
03 Sep 02:16
--Well that's, what atelier/academies are about if you think about it, you have to extend yourself doing your own work.
03 Sep 02:16
--Learnt plenty from it, but I would've been a lot better off just doing it part-time or singular classes.
03 Sep 02:13
--Personally I got frustrated with the atelier I was at, I couldn't handle doing nothing but studying from life every day. By the time I got home, I was too exhausted to do anything creative and that bothered me immensely.
03 Sep 02:12
--then they could start there and branch out after gaining more wisdom at said atelier/academy etc
03 Sep 02:12
--What I meant is, in case of atelier if someone whom is just entering the door, and per say has someone they have been following for some time, lets just take for example, georgetown atelier,
03 Sep 02:08
--I would try to just learn from everyone. Choosing to learn from only one source will create dependency over time. I like Will Terrell's motto that everyone has something to teach you. Sometimes that lesson is hidden from you because you're not willing to look.
03 Sep 02:04
--I assume the, the question to ask then, is from which atelier/masters you want to learn from? Which masters lets you get closer towards the approach you want to learn maybe?
03 Sep 02:03
--Yea I've taken online classes from Watts and Jeff actually recommends people first go and get accurate with sight size before using comparative measuring. Hes a lot more slack than other atelier's standards of exactness though.
03 Sep 02:00
--I haven't done any kind of bargue drawings so I can't really say a thing, but rather I feel bargue drawings isn't the only one way to get to certain level for drawing, after all, learning art in itself is not linear.
03 Sep 02:00
--A lot of it comes down to mileage but certain approaches lets say give you better "fuel economy" so to speak.
03 Sep 02:00
--Well if you pick lets say for example, watts atelier they do not teach bargue drawings, but you still get students whom can accurately see their own mistakes from the system they use.
03 Sep 01:59
--Being able see how they messed up against their reference gives a solid boost to all their studies.
03 Sep 01:58
--I think it's vital for beginners because anything they'll ever learn will be from reference, and proportions will be one of the first things they fight with.
03 Sep 01:57
--Prior to sight-size and linear block-ins, I was unable to pin-point my mistakes. Afterwards, if anything was even slightly out of place, I could tell exactly what it was.
